Crucifixion, the front cover of the Lindau Gospels, was a reflection of Charlemagne's dedication of books and learning. This book, containing the life of Christ, was held in high esteem.
The North faced a more austere and miserable environment which is somewhat represented in their work whereas the south were more focused on bringing out the religious imagery of the Bible in their artists works. This is probably one of the main differences in the work of Northern & Southern art. We can see above that the work of Northerners such as Hieronymus Boche and Albrecht Diirer is more abstract in comparison to the paintings of someone such as Raphael who we can see has decided to go for a more realistic approach. Why is this? It seems that the main reason to take into account is the fact that the church commissioned nearly all the works that were done by Southern artists meaning that the pictures were to be displayed in churches and on stained glass windows etc.
#80: Compare and contrast Enlightenment and Romantic views of the relationship between God and the Individual. The Enlightenment saw God as rational and tried to explain events with reason; in contrast the Romantic Era explained events with their inner feelings and that God was as human views. Both sides saw God as an evident force that created earth. The difference is that the Romantic Era disagreed with deist views, which stated that the belief in God is based on reason rather than revelation and involving the view that God has set the universe in motion but does not interfere with how it runs. On one hand, the Enlightenment views saw God as a far away figure that did not interfere with the lives of humans.

Finding WPA murals overwhelming, Lawrence concentrated on traditional painting instead. He produced his first major works in the late 1930s, most notably the Toussaint L Ouverture series, images that document the life of the revolutionary hero and Haiti’s struggle for independence. Other significant works include visual narratives of the lives of abolitionists Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. In 1940, Lawrence received the prestigious Julius Rosenwald Fellowship making it possible to purchase his first art studio on 125th Street in the heart of Harlem. He soon portrayed Harlem street life in paintings that became commentaries on the role of African Americans in United States society with highly developed themes of resistance and social opposition.

This author from Howard University is the outstanding specialist in this field-particularly with respect to the social relationships. Marsh was not the first to compile spirituals (the Allen anthology of 1867 is included in Black Cultural Leaders in Music, cited below), nor was he the only one to deal with the Fisk University chorus. Other early examples of the music are in Barton, including jubilees (the post-slavery expressions of joy). Ballanta was a native of Sierra Leone ~vhocaptured versions of the songs tenaciously retained in this coastal area. After Fisk, the major site for continuing the tradition was Hampton, particularly under the guidance of Dett, and this anthology had already undergone editions in 1874 , 189 1, and 1909 before Dett's rvork.
Certain pieces of visual arts mat convey a story better than others, but it is merely up to person viewing the art to interpret what they see. On the contrary, there are certain instances where the story being told within a piece of visual art is clear. Even then, it is still up for interpretation because everyone has different views of the world. Visual arts such as “Negro Hung Alive by the Ribs to a Gallows”, by William Blake as seen in “Narrative of a Five Years’ Expedition against the Revolted Slaves of Surinam”, is at best a supplement to story being told. Today, the best way to effectively depict injustice is neither through visual art such as paintings or literary representations, but through avenues such as documentaries which can be seen as a form of
It is named for Pope Gregory who ruled from 590 to 604 AD, who is traditionally credited for the codification of chants used in the celebration of the church calendar.

Gregorian chant is a vocal music, which means that it is sung a capella without accompaniment of instruments by a choir of men and boys, or by religious men and women in their churches.
